You may think this is nuts.
I have a tall TV type tower.
I'd like to install a camera at the top, that would feed pictures to my web
page.
I presently have a wireless router, the distance from router to the top of
the tower would be approx 55 feet.
But running a cable from the camera to the computer would be easy.
The camera would be outside in the weather (chicagoland nasty type weather)
and would turn as I turn the antenna.
Color would be nice, cheap would be nice (but I realize cheap is 'relative')
So what kind of camera, software do I need.
It would be fantastic if a person who looks at my web page could turn the
camera utilizing a pan/tilt type system. (I realize that would be more
expensive).
My home page will have Davis Weather Data, and show pictures from the
camera.
Please and thank you....
